In the clip Shelley chose not to put a name to his sexuality, simply saying ‘whether I decide to be with a girl next or be with a guy next it’s because I love them.’

Now, you know how YouTube gets at times. There are always people lurking behind their keyboards ready to unleash some online vitriol.

But, happily, in this instance the comments are full of support for George.

One fan said: ‘Your sexuality doesn’t define the kind hearted and talented human being you are. I am beyond happy and proud of how far you have come in your career journey and personal journey. Keep killin it george, I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!’

‘There is nothing wrong with being you. I’m happy for you and I hope that you find the person you have always been looking for’ another comment reads.
